Hi Paul

As I've said often before, I remain a guest because I'm deeply uncomfortable about the very situation we are discussing. I do not feel able to become a member, and so endorse the status quo, while it's accepted that powerful people may post under aliases and even join in the bullying.

I went to a very brutal public school, where violence and abuse was institutionalised, so this is something I feel strongly about.

I would also like to see a change in policy re moderation, because I'm alarmed by the bad PR generated by this website for the folk industry, as I have said both here on the board, and privately to the team.

Tom
